About the Triumph Speed Twin 1200

Overview

The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 is a cruiser motorcycle from Triumph. It was launched in 2019 and is still on sale. Cruisers are built for relaxed riding, typically with a low seat, a laid-back posture and an engine that pulls from low revs. With a 1,200 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 1,200 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 105 PS at 7,750 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 4,250 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its bore is wider than its stroke (97.6 mm x 80 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 486 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is tubular steel, with steel cradles. At the front, the suspension is Ø43 mm USD marzocchi forks, travel - 120 mm. At the rear, it is twin marzocchi RSUs with external reservoirs and adjustable preload, wheel travel - 116 mm rear suspension. Braking is by twin 320 mm discs at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 120/70 R17 at the front and 160/60 R17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 805 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 216 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 140 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,070 mm long, with 1,413 mm between the axles. It carries 14.5 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, turn-by-turn navigation, USB charging port, call and SMS alerts and daytime running lamps. Safety equipment includes traction control and low fuel indicator. It has two riding modes: Rain and Road.

The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years/Unlimited kms. For the Triumph Speed Twin 1200, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹9,999 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to relaxed riding and unhurried weekend trips. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Maintaining the Triumph Speed Twin 1200

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Double Disc, 320 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/70 R17 / 160/60 R17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Assist and slipper clutch
The assist part makes the clutch lever lighter. The slipper part eases the rear wheel's tendency to hop when you shift down hard.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
